I am not sure if I understand the crafting system correctly, but I think there are two types of fishing trophies. One that increases your fishing luck, and one that just lets you decorate wall with otherwise useless legendary. I do not have the schematics nor high enough furnishing to test that though.

I think all legendaries should get recipe for special food and perhaps useless wall trophy as well for decoration.

And the madtoms are especially annoying.

There are 4 legendary fish that can be salvaged into taxidermied versions, which can be hung in your house for a peacocking boost. 2 of those taxidermied fish are used in the upgrade process for the minor->basic->major fishing trophy.
